In Ted Evans’ gripping thriller, the arrival of an outsider at an isolated Deaf community forces one of its members to question this seemingly idyllic utopia.

After leaving the hearing world for ‘the village’, Eva feels she can truly be herself in a place where sign language is the only form of communication. However, it is not long before cracks start to show in this seemingly perfect world. Evans’ bold debut, which features an all-Deaf principal cast, articulately questions notions of identity and the longing for community.
